Jen Philips Photography

Jen is wonderful! From our first introductory call through photo delivery, Jen was incredibly easy to work with, accommodating, responsive, flexible, friendly, and most importantly, a great photographer! Jen took engagement photos for us and shot our small (26 person) wedding. Jen was really helpful with the planning process, she weighed in on location suggestions for our engagement shoot and advised on vendors for our wedding. When it came time for the engagement photos, a terrible wind storm was in the forecast. Jen was incredible flexible and happily rescheduled for a few days later. She even gave us her expert opinion about which day would be best after reviewing the forecast. On our wedding day, Jen went above and beyond the duties of a photographer (she helped bustle my dress, she helped talk to the venue staff to resolve minor issues, etc.). I am so glad Jen was by our side! We love the photos Jen took and are so happy Jen was the one to capture our memories on our special day!

There are not many events more nerve-wracking than your wedding day, but the day will be gone in an instant. What remains are the memories and pictures of that glorious day. So, what you want is perfection in your photographs. Jen makes that happen. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable. She listened, understood what we wanted, and we felt so confident that she would follow through with all our wishes. Day of, she made us so comfortable and at ease. She helped us relax and we knew we were in good hands. There’s just nothing like it when you hire a professional. She was everywhere at once and you hardly noticed her. How did she do that? I don’t know, but our photos are gorgeous. She cares about you and your happiness. She knows what works and makes it happen. She becomes part of your family. She considers us family for life. We are so grateful we hired Jen and you shouldn’t hesitate. Hire her NOW!

I just had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen on my wedding. Being a wedding planner, I have worked with many, many photographers over the years, but when it came time to plan my own wedding, I knew immediately I wanted to work with Jen. I don't need to tell you that she's utterly talented. Her photos clearly show that. In fact there are many photographers that are extremely talented, so let me share with you what sets Jen apart from the other professional photographers in the area. First off, it's her personality. Jen is super organized, professional, kind and most importantly, fun! Your photographer is the vendor that you will spend the most time with on your wedding. You want to feel relaxed, calm and happy, otherwise it will show in your photos. Jen sets the tone, keeps things light and fun, all while capturing beautiful photos - both posed and candids. But what really sets Jen apart is the amount of detail and planning she does with you before the wedding day. To be totally honest, I wasn't looking forward to taking the various formal family photos before the wedding, but because Jen had a focused shot list and knew exactly what photos I wanted and who was expected to be in them, the process was so smooth and super quick. It was absolutely painless, in fact, it was fun! I have first hand witnessed the photographers who do not do the pre-planning that Jen does, and it's a mess on the wedding day. So much time is wasted looking for Aunt Sally or tracking down a groomsman to left to go to the bathroom when he was needed for photos etc. Jen's experience and organization keeps the process streamlined, leaving you more time to party with your guests. And of course your photos will be stunning as well! Thank you Jen! I feel so fortunate you were my wedding photographer!
